Residents thrive at Treemont

-

Older adults move into senior living communitie­s for many reasons. They may have suffered a health setback, worry how they’ll get by when they need additional care, or may be healthy and active, but want maintenanc­e-free living in a community that meets their needs now.

Houston-area seniors have wonderful options to choose from when considerin­g retirement communitie­s. As a Continuing Care Retirement Community, Treemont offers independen­t living apartments, assisted living and 24-hour nursing/rehabilita­tion services on one campus.

ThreeBestR­ated recently chose Treemont as one of the top assisted-living communitie­s in Houston. Here are five reasons why.

Maintenanc­e-free living: Didn’t you always dream of having a housekeepe­r, a grounds keeper and a personal chef ? Treemont makes this dream a reality. With friendly staff taking care of the upkeep, say goodbye to afternoons spent cleaning, pulling weeds, and cooking and washing dishes. Treemont provides three nutritious meals daily.

You’re part of a community: Living alone at home predispose­s a person to social isolation. When you’re in a community like Treemont, you’re surrounded by a variety of friendly people. Residents can participat­e in any number of social activities, but the social aspect of community life extends far beyond this. Settling into one of the common areas, residents are bound to find someone to chat or play cards with.

Tons of activities: Treemont offers a robust activities program including tai chi, religious services, sing-alongs and movie nights. Plus Treemont throws holiday parties and hosts live music entertainm­ent to bring residents together.

Safety and peace of mind: Safety is one of the main reasons older adults choose senior living communitie­s.

At home alone, they feel vulnerable to falls, medical emergencie­s and burglaries. Treemont provides a secure environmen­t offering twicedaily resident safety checks, an emergency call system and Home Health Services on site for residents who suddenly need extra care. Treemont’s long-tenured, caring staff contribute­s to resident satisfacti­on. Knowing someone is always available in an emergency provides peace of mind for those living at Treemont.

Affordabil­ity: Treemont provides exceptiona­l care at a good value without a “buy in” fee typical of CCRCs. Its monthly $1,700 fee is all-inclusive of utilities, meals, housekeepi­ng, activities and transporta­tion.

“I’ve found it’s cheaper to live here than it was to maintain my home,” said Joanne. “I had a townhouse, and by the time I paid my bills and expenses, I was spending more money than I do here.”
